ProcessNewValueEventArgs.Handled Property

Gets or sets a value specifying whether the lookup editor must locate the newly inserted record.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraEditors.Controls

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraEditors.v24.2.dll

Declaration

C#

public bool Handled { get; set; }

VB.NET

Public Property Handled As Boolean

Property Value

Type	Description
Boolean	true if the editor must locate the newly inserted record; otherwise false.

Remarks

Generally, you handle the RepositoryItemLookUpEditBase.ProcessNewValue event in order to add a new record to the data source for the text entered. If you have inserted a record and want the lookup editor to locate it, you should set the Handled property to true. The editor will locate and retrieve the record after your event handler completes.

If you leave the property set to false, the editor will not try to locate the new record.
